Description

The SH-S224 drive offers a powerful over-speed performance feature that enables consumers to burn data at high speeds - even on low speed media. With over-speed recording, users can write at 24X speeds on 16X media and 12X speeds on 8X media. As lower speed media is more cost-effective, users can save money while burning discs at faster speeds.

The SH-S224 drive provides blazing recording speeds across a gamut of different data media types including 24X DVD±R recording, 12X DVD-RAM recording, 16X DVD+R Dual Layer recording, 12X DVD-R Dual Layer recording, 8X DVD+RW recording and 6X DVD-RW recording. It enables consumers to burn 4.7GB on a DVD±R disc in approximately 4 minutes and 26 seconds, a 6 percent increase in speed compared to a 20X DVD writer. It also takes less than 12 minutes to burn 4.7GB in DVD-RAM format, which is a 30 percent increase in speed over a 20X DVD drive.

I bought a returned version of this DVD Writer for a fraction of the cost. Although not in its box, it was clear that the dvd writer was new.

Installation was easy and it was recognised first time by the Bios and Windows 7. Writing to dvd's was just as easy.

What surprised me the most was the silence in which it does it. I have bought many such in my lifetime and all were many decibels louder, even though very good.

I note the Samsung logo in the front was missing altogether.

Well, I have only loaded on Windows with it, but it was fast and without errors. It comes with no software or SATA cables, so bear that in mind, but for the money, it's great. I do miss the Pioneer drives though!

After reviewing a couple of drives that I would like to use, I ended up selecting this one and do not regret it. The drive is excellent!

I hesitated between buying this drive and a LiteOn one that was only 50p more (£13 vs £12.5 in August 2013).I bought the LiteOn one for 1 computer and the Samsung one for another.As the LiteOn one looks a bit stronger I think it is worst the extra 50p.Otherwise the Samsung mark on the front of the tray is not as big as the picture suggest it which was a good surprise.This Samsung drive is still a good buy, especially as it is very cheap.
